JFM Urges Singapore to Take Stronger Action Against Myanmar Military Supply Networks

Justice For Myanmar (JFM) has called on the Singapore government to take more effective action to stop the flow of weapons, dual-use military-civilian equipment, technology, and aviation fuel to the Myanmar military, which continues to commit war crimes and crimes against humanity against the people of Myanmar.

According to a statement released by JFM on 9 June, nearly four years after the group exposed 33 Singapore-based companies involved in supplying arms and military equipment to the Myanmar military in 2022, 20 of those companies have since been struck off Singapore’s corporate registry, while 13 companies remain active.

JFM said that military procurement networks still registered in Singapore include the Dynasty Group, Myanmar Chemical & Machinery (MCM) Group, KT Group, and Ky-Tha Group.

The group noted that Dr. Aung Moe Myint, who leads Dynasty Group, serves as Belarus’ Honorary Consul to Myanmar and has played a key role in facilitating the Myanmar military’s purchases of weapons and related equipment from Belarus. He and Dynasty Group have been sanctioned by the United States, the United Kingdom, the European Union, and Canada.

Similarly, KT Group and Ky-Tha Group continue to operate in Singapore under the name Ky-Tha Trading Pte. Ltd. According to JFM, the companies were involved in procuring Thales Coast Watcher 100 coastal surveillance radar systems for the Myanmar Navy and also played a significant role in acquiring ATR and Fokker aircraft for the Myanmar Air Force.

Previous JFM investigations identified Jonathan Myo Kyaw Thaung as the head of KT Group and described him as a long-time participant in the Myanmar military’s international arms procurement and military technology acquisition networks.

JFM also stated that MCM Group supplied spare parts for Mi-2 and Mi-17 helicopters, BTR-3U armored personnel carriers, and naval equipment to the military authorities.

In addition, the statement said that PEIA Pte. Ltd., which is linked to aviation fuel supply networks supporting the Myanmar military’s airstrike capabilities, is connected to Shoon Group (formerly Asia Sun Group) and has worked with the military-controlled Myanma Petrochemical Enterprise (MPE).

JFM pointed out that the Myanmar military continues to carry out airstrikes targeting civilians, schools, hospitals, and religious buildings, and argued that its continued access to weapons, military equipment, and aviation fuel remains a key factor enabling such attacks.

According to United Nations data cited by JFM, at least 982 civilians, including children, were killed in Myanmar military airstrikes during 2025. Between December 2025 and January 2026 alone, the military reportedly carried out 199 airstrikes against civilian targets.

JFM spokesperson Yadanar Maung said: “While we welcome some actions taken by Singapore, much more needs to be done to cut off the Myanmar military’s access to weapons, equipment, and aviation fuel.”

JFM urged the Singapore government to immediately investigate and take action against companies and individuals providing weapons, military technology, and financial services to the Myanmar military. The group also called on Singaporean banks to stop facilitating such activities and to help dismantle the military’s entire supply chain.
